BATTLING WITH A SEA 1zoNsTEH
A rInbaek whale Kills Three of tht
Crew ofa Whaling Steaner.
Tid-Bits,

A Tinbaek Whale Kills Three of the
Crew ofa Whaling Steamer.
From the Boston Glebe.l
The whaling steamer Lizzie N. Capt.
West, which has been engaged in the fin
back whale fishery on the eastern coast this
season, on Oct. 6, when about fifteen miles
east-southeast from Sequin Island, off the
coast of Maine saw a large lone whale of that
species and attempted its capture. A boat
was lowered and manned with Capt. West,
his mate and four seamen. Capt. West with
large heavy whale gun, in which was an
explosive bomb lance, took the breaoh of the
boat, while the mate stsered. Upon ap-
preaching the whale it was seen that he would
be an ugly customer to deal with, as he
showed no inclination to run, but kept slow
ly milling around, evidently waiting to be at
tackled
When the boat was near enough to warrant
shot, Capt. West fired the gun, but as the
sea was rough the motion of the boat de-
stroyed the accuracy of the aim. The whale
was badly wounded, but not in any vital
part. The whale then made for the boat,
and in passing under it struck it with his
fnkes, throwing it some thirty feet into
the air with its crew, throwing the men
out As the boat descended the whale
again struck it with his tail and completely
dsmoralized the boat, killing one of the
crew, Jacob Klook, cutting him completely in
two. The whale then commenced to bite
and strike with his tail at the pieces of the
boat, killing two more men, Neil Olsen and
Chris johnson, who were supporting them
selves on pieces of the wreck.
While the whale was engaged in destroy
ing the boat Capt. West, the mate, and
one man fortunately secured an oar apiece
and SWAMI away from the place. On board
the steamer the nishap WAS seen. Another
boat was lowered and the three men picked
up and taken on board, much exhausted.
Nothing daunted, Capt. West resolved upon
capturing the fish. Everything was got in
readiness; two guns were loaded, each with
the explosive lance, Capt. West taking one
and his mate the other, and taking their
positions on the bow of the steamer, word
was given to go ahead. The whale in the
meantime was lying still among the debris
of the wrecked boat, occasionally throwing
his fukes into the air.
AS the ship neared the monster he left
the wrecked boat and made for the steam
or with the evident intention of striking
her on the port bow. By quick turn Of
the rudder the steamersscle him by few
feet, but with no chance for a shot.
The whale then turned and again made for
the steamer, coming down from the wind
ward for about midships of the vessel. Capt.

The Hemlandet, the Swedish organ, of
Chicago, has an appeal in English in behalf
of foreign immigration, saying: AS regards
Sweden, they haven't in that country more
than one socialist. He is tailor, who learnt
socialism in Germany and enjoys perfect
freedom in Old Sweden. For the curiosity of
the thing he cannot be spared for America.
Now, because few Germans who have been
driven out from Germany on account of their
anarchistic views have true to their nature
raised the impossible red banner in this coun
try, is there a shadow of fairness and reason
in maintaining that all Germans and all
other foreigners must be anarchists? Social
ism cannot yet flourish in this country, nor
in any new country, because the immigrants
come here with the object of acquiring for
themselves a competency individually.

colored men held the balance of power, and

Michael Burns of Augusta, Maine, has re-
sorted to an ingenious method of testing the
prohibitery law and forcing the determine
tion of the issue between federal and State
statutes. He proposes to keep his liquors
stored in custom houses in small packages,
and when he sells a jug or keg to give to the
buyer an order upon the custom house for
delivery of the original package, on payment
of the duty thereon. His expectation is that
the State will not dare to interfere with this
delivery of imported goods in original pack
ages from government warehouses.
The people Of Chicago are engaged in
fighting the Gas trust and the people of Phil
adelphia are disturbed by the Electrical
trust which controls the several electric
light companies doing business there, and
another company to which the city council
have surrendered the right to lay conduits
for wires. Through this company the Trust
defes competition, for it can exact unreason-
able rent for the use of conduit space and
royalty for every competing lamp. The
price for electric lights has been raised and it
is proposed to raise it again. Still, it is as
serted that the monopoly has been formed
clearly in violation of the law and that it can
be broken whenever the people shall appeal
to the courts.

VictOria,s CeIebration.

June 2l next is to be observed as a
national holiday in celebration of the
completion of the fiftieth year of the
reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
In accordance with ancient usage, it
has been decided to release many pris-

Queens jubilee Besides impressing
upon a vast population the joyOusness
of the event, this policy will be In the
line of humanity and justice. no doubt.
In the Indian Empire there are at
the present time not less than IS 900
prisoners. Many of them are in bon
dsge by reason of debt, and it is this
class which will be benefited in the
largest measure by the clemency that
it has been decided to exercise. Since

which has fallen into disfavor in most
of the civilized states of the world.
The liberation of 25, 900 human beings
on a joyful anniversary, as is proposed
in India, would seem to argue that
the ofenses for which they were de-
prived of their freedom were iDsignifi-
cant indeed. The golden jubilee of
the Queen would be worthy of much
more elaborate celebration if, under
her rule, no such injustices had been
left to be redressed by the wholesale.

TIL secret is out, if reports are true,
that I'rotter, the new Recorder of
Deeds for the District of Columbia, is
q Republican. which would go to show
that the President has some claim to
shrewdness in his tactics, and has
succeeded in running the Republicans
to hole They denied the charge that
they rejected the nomination of Matth
ews because he was Democrat, but
allege that it was because he was not
q citizen of the District. They has
tened to confirm Trotter, who, like
Matthews, is not q citizen of the Dis
trict, but unlike Matthews, is a Re.
publican. This proves conclusively
that the Republicans do not recognise
the right of the colored man to think
for himself on political matters, and
that colored man who presumes to
be Democrat has no rights which
they are bound to respect.
